I am not due for a smear til next year (every 5 years here). Am considering getting HPV tested instead, as I don’t want to drop my panties. 😬 |

With a combo of gyni issues, fertility help & then womb cancer I feel special if I don't need to drop my keks on a visit!

I am totally blown away that Shannen is still around a year after the cancer spread to her brain. I had a friend who died in her late 30's after breast cancer had spread to her brain. About a month after the cancer spread to her brain, our friend lost her ability to speak, right in the middle of a Best Buy store. I can't even imagine the horror of losing that ability so suddenly, or being one of her daughters with her when it happened. Then, she was bedridden for about a month, and then was gone. I don't think there was any history in her family either.

Yeah I'm at the point where I'm cracking jokes while someone is up in my business now. Last time I had an internal ultrasound the sonographer nearly dropped the wand due to laughing when I said that if she wasn't going to buy me a drink first then the least she could do was make it vibrate. |

I had a practise nurse teaching her pupil how to smear. It wasn't too bad until the trainee confessed that she had got the speculum stuff & had to take the dummy apart "last time"... She wasn't laughing as it whizzed past her left ear as I gaffawed....
